Cabbage Stir-Fry

Last couple of weeks have been really busy. I needed to get some work done on the house (painting, shelving etc) ..so was busy running around getting quotes.. I have been making some quick, healthy and simple dishes . One such dish that I made yesterday was CABBAGE STIR FRY.. This dish does not need too many ingredients and goes well with Dal and rice and so also with some hot phulkas. In this dish, I cook the cabbage in a way that it is tender but still has some crunch to it. Its important that you shred the cabbage finely.That way they take less time to cook.

INGREDIENTS:

Cabbage (Finely shredded) : 4 cups

Peas (cooked) : 1/2 cup

Cumin seeds / Jeera : 1/2 tsp

Mustard seeds / Rai : 1/2 tsp

Urad dal / Black gram : 1/2 tsp

Dry Red chilli (broken) : 2

Green chillies (slit lengthwise) : 2-3

Curry Leaves : 4-5

Oil : 2 tsp

Turmeric powder / Haldi : 1/2 tsp

Sugar : 1 tsp

Lemon Juice : 1 tbsp

Asafoetida / Hing : 1/4 tsp (optional)

Salt as per taste

Freshly grated coconut : 2 tbsp (optional)

Cilantro (chopped) : 2 tbsp

Note: All measurements are based on the US measuring cup and spoon sizes where 1 cup = 235 ml
